Hmm yes, state "encryption". Waiting for the day they find out it's broken and attackers had access to conversations for a few months (being slightly serious, I don't know what protocol they intend to use that would surpass or equal the Signal protocol, unless it's a state owned app that they can vet which is based on the same protocol)
